Try computing your salary, in $/hr, two ways: 1) assuming a 40 hr work week; and, 2) adding to those 40 hrs all the extra time you spend now, including extra travel time and time away from home sitting in hotel rooms wishing you remembered how your own bed felt. Methinks it will surprise thee.

The owner of the business I retired from was overheard saying that the reason he set arbitrary and unrealistic deadlines was that it convinced gullible engineers to work overtime without pay. I never worked ANY overtime after that.
